It’s Saturday!  It’s the first of a new month!  It’s two days from my newly rescheduled internet installation!  And…

Here’s my progress for the month: I killed all of my revolving debt.  It feels great!!!  I managed to stay current on all my bills.  My net worth is up by over $1500.

Here’s my dilemma for the month:  I have $1100 in my checking account, and not one cent has to go to a bill.  I want to do smart things with it, but so far it’s still sitting in my checking account.  I don’t know what to do with it.  I know I need to put about $700 in my IRA if I want to pay less in taxes.  And even then, there’s about $300 I have to have to pay my taxes.  I’m waiting until April to actually file, so I don’t have to do this all at once.  I’m thinking I should put some into the IRA and the rest into my savings account for the house so it can get some interest, since I still have about a month left to put the rest of the contribution into the IRA.   One cool thing is that instead of sending super payments to my old credit card debt, I can send that money to my house savings.

I am SO EXCITED about that!!!

I really don’t want to do any of that from this cafe I’m typing in, though.  So I have until at least Monday to make up my mind about it.
